In recent years, due to strong national support for environmental protection and the development of the solar streetlight industry, an increasing number of places have started to use solar streetlights. The popularity of solar streetlights is attributed to their energy-saving, safe, eco-friendly, high-tech, durable, low maintenance costs, and self-powered features. So, what should be noted when using solar streetlights? Below, we will share some important points.
Precautions for using solar streetlights:
1. Avoid allowing hard or sharp objects to strike the solar panel, as this may damage the solar panel.
2. Confirm the integrity of the solar panel before installation to prevent damage. The solar panel needs to be tilted at a 30-degree angle facing due south during installation.
3. During use, avoid having other objects (such as branches, billboards, etc.) block the surface of the solar panel, as this may affect conversion efficiency.
4. Regularly clean and maintain the solar panel (the frequency depends on actual conditions). Keeping the surface of the solar panel clean is crucial, as dirt may impact conversion efficiency.
5. Solar streetlights typically use LED light sources, which have a very long lifespan. To extend their longevity, it’s important to focus on heat dissipation and constant current management. Effective heat dissipation can help control the temperature of the LED tubes.
6. Choose a suitable streetlight controller. Although the controller is inconspicuous in the entire solar streetlight system, its quality directly affects the lifespan and operating costs of the entire system, so it is essential to select a high-quality controller during construction. As a typical green and eco-friendly lighting solution, solar streetlights benefit our country and communities. Attention to detail in construction and actual use can help maximize their advantages in longevity.
7. Since solar streetlights need to be equipped with solar batteries and solar panels, they can become targets for theft. To ensure normal operation and avoid affecting nighttime illumination, effective anti-theft measures should be observed during construction. Batteries can be buried under the base of the solar streetlight and covered with concrete to effectively prevent theft, minimizing economic losses and ensuring normal lighting.
The above precautions for using solar streetlights have been shared here. Solar streetlights are convenient to install since they do not require digging trenches or laying cables, and they do not involve significant installation costs or labor expenses, making them an excellent choice for nighttime illumination.
